Kaiser Annual Auction
Welcome Back Kaiser Families!
It is wonderful to have our community back together. This has certainly been a challenging time for us all, yet our community has never been stronger. We have only 3 months of learning left, and we need to make every minute count.
As I said in my recent robocall, I would like to offer a personal appreciation to all Kaiser students, families, and staff for your tremendous support for our teachers and school in these difficult times.
In the past month, we have all been juggling a lot. If during this time, I have dropped the ball on anything important to you, I have two requests: First, your forgiveness, and second, that you let me know, so I can best support you and your children.
I look forward to seeing ALL Kaiser families at our auction THIS Saturday. This night is both a ton of fun and the biggest source of support for our music and arts programs, academic mentors, supervision, field trips, and so much more.
Again, welcome back!

Dear Kaiser Families,
We truly appreciate all the energy and effort you have been investing in so many different ways!
The time has come again for the whole community to rally together on Wednesday, March 20th as the OUSD Board of Education is scheduled to hold a Special Meeting to discuss Blueprint Cohort 2. Based on what we know to date, this will include their proposal to close our current facility. We have grave concerns about OUSD’s lack of transparency and forethought and the insufficient community input that has gone into the important process, which will impact the fate of the entire District. Therefore it is essential that we all show up and respectfully make our voices heard!
What: OUSD Board of Education Meeting to discuss Blueprint Cohort 2When: March 20th, 5:30-7:30 PMWhere: Great Room, LaEscuelita Education Center
1050 2nd AvenueOakland, CA
Please note, the Board has recently canceled, rescheduled multiple meetings on short notice. If that happens again we will announce it on Konstella as soon know!
